1 year agoI wish they would as well but the cable deals are so insanely lucrative. The TEAM collects like 5-7 dollars per cable subscriber PER MONTH. It’s basically a tax on the city. Just picking a random number but like say 80% of subscribers don’t watch a baseball game any given month. They’re still paying 5-7 bucks for the privilege.
It’s a system that could ONLY exist under cable monopolies. There’s no way they’ll ever have such a sweet deal if people have to willingly go out of their way to pay for streaming.
If you had told me the Orioles might make a playoff run by squeezing through the wild card in the next 5+ years I would maybe believe it. But being the best team in the American League after the All-Star break there’s no way I could believe that. I don’t think anyone could.
If my team gets knocked out I’m going full team Bird Boy.
